Diesel Dawg Medical Marijuana Review

From:  Colorado Care Facility

Grade:  A-

Type:  Hybrid – East Coast Sour Diesel  x Chem 91 55/45 Indica to Sativa

Price: $55/8th

Appearance:  Different hues of green – large and well taken care of.

Aroma: Chemical pine & menthol fuel

Taste:   A clean lemon (no astringent flavor common with the “cleaner” tasting strains) with good expansion

Buzz Type:  A sharp, well adjusted buzz with lifted visual & auditory awareness. The wavy, happy feeling kept me on my feet with full coordination and drive as well as being mentally disciplined for writing and other seated activities.  Maybe a little sativa dominance in this one, but a good mixture.

Buzz Length: Medium. 1.5 – 2+ Hours.

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Well recommended for fatigue and introversion with only mildly satisfactory nerve/bone pain relief.  Muscle based (leg cramps and similar) were knocked out quite well.  IBS was immediately relieved, but not much appetite stimulation.

Overall:  Great bud, when I first hit it I could tell it was clean and well maintained throughout the grow. After hitting the vaporizer I had an immediate couch lock that lasted about 4 minutes. Then I was alert and happy doing just about anything, watching a movie or editing photos. Overall a great bud for varied situations, I would’ve liked to see a little more longevity for a higher grade.

Urkel x O.G. Kush (CCF)

Urkel x O.G. Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

(Purple Urkel is commonly called Urkle or Erkle as well)

From:  Colorado Care Facility

Grade:  A-

Type: Purple Urkel OG Kush This combo felt like it was 65-75% Indica

Price:  $60/8th

Appearance:  Dark grayish green & purple, super dense and sticky.

Aroma:  Chemical Kush – a blend of soil, fuel, and the familiar kush scent.  (After this Urkel review we were very disappointed and stated we wouldn’t grab any Urkel sample unless it had a very strong purple/fruity scent.  Reality is the Kush is just so dominant I can’t pick out the Urkel.)

Taste:  Earthy Kush taste, a cleaner variety.

Buzz Type:   A real creeper that took its time to reach its potential.  It was a very subtle rise, so subtle that I didn’t even realize how affected I was.  It was also a very relaxing and calming buzz to the point where you can easily lose track of time  – at one point I hadn’t moved a muscle for an hour.  I found this one to be like one big wave, dropping me down for the first half and rising back through the second.  (Again, very contrary to the Urkle review previously.)

Buzz Length:  Medium-Long.  1.5 – 2.5 Hours (vaporizer seemed to last longer)

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Great for anxiety and overall mood. I didn’t notice any pain which is odd as there is a snow storm moving in which usually results in my pain being amplified.

Overall:  It’s official, the crossing of the two strains are better than the parts, with a B- and B+ combining for an A- grade.  I think this is a great marriage of the two strains as they complement each other well with similar relaxing and calming attributes (reputation and our historical context – it is quite clear the specimen of Urkle we got from Plants 4 Life was subpar).  I like this for someone who needs to relax for a few after a long day but needs to be productive afterwards (thank you kush) and  I will definitely pick this up from CCF when available.
